Background

On one hand, the cyber insurance market is maturing, cyber actuarial tables are developing; Policies, coverage and forms are gradually becoming clearer. On the other hand, the traditional static "prevention" approach to building a security solution is being turned on its head in favor of dynamic, proactive threat detection and response capabilities. These seemingly independent development paths actually intersect in some places such as where statistics gathered from DDoS monitoring tools can help quantify the scope, size and trajectory of attacks and therefore the potential financial losses. Similarly calculating potential financial liabilities for insurance coverage purposes, can help show where security dollars can be best spent.

Attorney Richard Bortnick, a cyber insurance expert, who will describe how the cyber insurance market is maturing;
